GREETINGS

The Department of Music at the Martin Luther University Halle, cooperating with the organizer of Euro Music Festival, extends a warm welcome to the faculty and participants from all over the world.

As a part of the University with 513 year - history, we see our Department, not only as a place of tradition but also a place of innovation and new encounters with modern developments in musical culture. Our students not only receive comprehensive and challenging musical education - comparable to that with a conservatory, but also benefit from opportunities that only full-ranged university can offer.

Located in the historic town center of Halle, and within reach of Handel's birth place, the Department of Music comprises two modern buildings. Their functional yet aesthetic design follows the famous Bauhaus style that originated in Dessau, only a few kilometers away.

These buildings have been providing appropriate atmosphere for the masterclasses, while Halle's vivid art scenes and a variety of restaurants form an ideal backdrop for relaxing after a long day of classes and concerts, with regional culinary specialties such as a glass of wine from the Saale-Unstrut Valley.
